Lily also heard a young woman's voice coming from the ward. Her voice was sweet.
'Why is there another woman in there? Who is she to Darryl?’ with the thought ringing in her head, Lily seemed upset.
Through the window, one could see Daniel Darby with bandages all over his body and visible bloodstains on i t. Pipes connected his body to a machine, and beside the bed were a few bags of blood. It seemed horrible. H e was lucky to have survived.
Yesterday, Daniel thought he was dying. No matter how strong the body was, it was impossible to come out alive after experiencing such cruel torture! Luna sat, smiling beside the bed. When he was admitted to the hospital, Daniel was covered in blood, and his chances of living were slim. Luckily, Darryl had a good relationship with Director Shelly Sullivan. If it were not for Shelly, his father might have died. 1
Today, Shelly had finished her shift, and she did not have her white coat on. She wore a dress as she told Daniel jokes beside his bed. She was usually a serious person, especially after becoming the director of the hospital. However, when she saw Darryl’s parents, she just wanted to make them happy and tell them jokes.
"Uncle Daniel, when I was back in high school during my first Math class, the teacher introduced himself as
Stan Dupp," she recalled smiling, "I don’t know what I was thinking, but I just said out loud, I wonder why we're all sitting when he's standing up? The teacher's face turned green and ordered me to stand for the rest of the day!"
"Hahahaha!" Daniel laughed.
Laughter filled the ward. Daniel was feeling much better and liked having Shelly around. This young lady was appointed as the director at such a young age. She was also talented, has a good personality, and makes the old couple very happy.
At this moment, the door opened as Lily and Samantha stomped in their heels. They had been listening from outside the ward for a while now, and Lily could not hold it any longer. It was the cheerful and joyous atmosphere inside the ward, which made her feel sick and uneasy.
"Who's this woman?" Lily asked, looking at Shelly.
Instantly, the four people inside the ward fell silent.
"Lily, you're here!" Darryl was the first to react. He stood up and accepted the fruit basket from her hand. He then hastily introduced her, "Dad, Mom. This is your daughter-in-law, Lily Lyndon. Beside her is my mother-in-law, Samantha."
